PSC 5925

Overview

The Product and Service Code system classifies the goods and services the U.S. government buys so contracting data in FPDS and SAM can be tracked, analyzed, and reported consistently. The PSC Manual governs the structure, usage guidance, and current code set used across agencies for reporting the “what” of each contract action. ¹

PSC 5925 — CIRCUIT BREAKERS — is a product code within Federal Supply Group 59 (Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components). In reporting, it is selected when the predominant supply delivered is circuit breakers, distinguishing these items from related classes such as fuses, switches, or other electrical hardware. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Purchases where the principal deliverable is circuit breakers classified as supplies under Federal Supply Group 59. ¹
• Use on awards where circuit breakers are the predominant item, even if ancillary parts or materials are included on the same line or order. ¹
• Product coding for supply contracts; services like installation or maintenance should use the appropriate service PSCs (for example, N059 or J059) rather than 5925. ¹
• Distinct from 5920 Fuses and Lightning Arrestors and 5930 Switches, which are separate product classes in the same FSG. ¹
• Relevant to market analysis of electrical distribution components within PSC Group 59 for spend and competitor profiling. ¹
• For certain DoD buys, items in 5925 fall under coordinated acquisition assignment to DSCC (DLA) per PGI 208.7006. ²

DoD coordinated acquisition notes

• Under DFARS PGI 208.7006, coordinated acquisition responsibility for 5925 items is assigned to DSCC, indicating DLA-led sourcing/management for this class. This helps determine lead buying commands and can inform OEM and distribution strategies. ²

Coding guidance highlights

• Select 5925 in FPDS data element 8A when circuit breakers are the predominant supply; if installation predominates, use service PSCs such as N059 (Installation of Equipment—Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components). ¹
• The PSC Manual provides the authoritative structure for FSG 59 and the list of related classes to avoid miscoding (e.g., fuses under 5920, switches under 5930). ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 5925 represent in federal reporting?

  • 5925 is the product class for circuit breakers within Federal Supply Group 59. It is used in FPDS/SAM to identify awards where circuit breakers are the primary items purchased. ¹

• When should a contracting office use 5925 versus 5920 or 5930?

  • Use 5925 for circuit breakers; use 5920 for fuses/lightning arrestors and 5930 for switches. Each is a distinct PSC in FSG 59 and should not be interchanged. ¹

• How should installation or maintenance of circuit breakers be coded?

  • Treat installation or maintenance as services. Use service PSCs such as N059 (installation) or J059 (maintenance/repair) instead of 5925, which is a product code. ¹

• Who manages coordinated acquisition for FSC/PSC 5925 within DoD?

  • DFARS PGI assigns 5925 (Circuit Breakers) to DSCC for coordinated acquisition, indicating DLA’s lead buying role for this class. ²

• Where can an authoritative list and updates to PSC codes be found?

  • The PSC Manual (current edition and archives) on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source; GSA also exposes PSC data via the PSC Public API for system access and integration. ¹
